The First Deputy Minister of Justice underscored the role of gender equality and the importance of women in migration management at an event organized by the International Organization for Migration. Recent legal and institutional reforms stand as a testament to this commitment, with the Ministry of Justice steadfastly ensuring gender parity across all spheres within its competence.

Highlighting statistics, Tkeshelashvili revealed that 47% of real estate owners in Georgia are women, signalling the nation's dedication to a comprehensive, inclusive approach with active societal engagement.

Providing insight into concrete actions, Tkeshelashvili disclosed that out of 1,857 migrants registered in the state reintegration program between 2022 and 2023, 63% were women. Furthermore, among the 542 beneficiaries receiving financial aid, 61% were women. Women also constituted a significant portion of beneficiaries in other key areas, such as qualification enhancement and self-employment initiatives.

Emphasizing Georgia's commitment to prioritizing migrant return and reintegration, the Deputy Minister highlighted ongoing targeted programs aimed at facilitating seamless reintegration, with active participation from the migrants themselves.

At the end of the speech, Tkeshelashvili extended thanks to the International Organization for Migration for its unwavering support in migrant discussion, return, and reintegration efforts. Additionally, she underscored the vital roles played by the United Nations and the European Union in bolstering Georgia's European integration path, which, in turn, profoundly influences migration policy management.
